Create a spreadsheet to calculate your projected total costs, total revenues, and total profits for giving a seminar on cost estimating. Make the following assumptions:

  • You will charge $995 per person for a two-day class.
  • You estimate that 30 people will attend the class, but you should keep an option to change this input.
  • Your fixed costs include $500 total to rent a room for both days, setup fees of $500 for registration, and $300 for designing a postcard for advertising.
  • You will not include your labor costs for this estimate, but you estimate that you will spend at least 150 hours developing materials, managing the project, and giving the actual class. You would like to know what your time is worth given different scenarios.
  • You will order 5,000 postcards, mail 4,000, and distribute the rest to friends and colleagues.
  • Your variable costs include the following:
    1. $9 per person for registration plus four percent of the class fee per person to handle credit card processing; assume that everyone pays by credit card
    2. $.49 per postcard for printing if you order 5,000 or more
    3. $.25 per postcard for mailing and postage
    4. $25 per person for beverages and lunch
    5. $30 per person for class handouts

Calculate and post your profits based on 30 people. Also, list any assumptions you made. In addition, calculate what your time would be worth per hour based on the number of students. BE SURE TO POST YOU EXCEL FILE.

If your profits are lower than your average total costs, firms operate at a loss, and often exit the industry or contract. If your profit matches your average total cost, it is called breaking even and most firms operate at their current capacity. However, not all industries are...
